Possibly bad transfer case.

If a GM compact (T) truck, consider a bad 4x4 switch.

If an Explorer you might have a bad contact plate, replace the encoder motor.

Because your transfer case might be shot it could be the bearings..auto locking? get manuals, it costs 100 and u need to get out, but it won't fail you. if electronic 4x4 switch, you need a new switch if manuel linkages, adjust linkages

Why do a guitar and banjo have different sounds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference is in the construction methods. An acoustic guitar is a neck and strings attached to a big, tightly sealed, rigidly braced wooden box. It's designed and refined to resonate and allow the strings to have a warm sound with lots of sustain. A banjo on the other hand is a neck and strings attached to what is basically a drum with a paper head tightly stretched with tuning keys similar to those found on drums. The size and construction are designed to give a bright sound with very little sustain. The tuning of the banjo is very different too, especially on 5-string versions typically used in bluegrass music. Scruggs style players play fast syncopated runs with alternate tunings, using metal fingerpicks and a "banjo roll" plucking style. This style is not really suitable to the sound of an acoustic guitar, but with the modern electric guitar players like Chet Atkins, Jerry Donahue, Brad Paisley, and many others have forged a hybrid picking style borrowing elements from both guitar and banjo.

Asked by Wiki User

Mostly country,but a little bit of jazz. depends

One can agree. Note also the words to Steven Foster's O Susanna. One can agree the banjo, flute, nor triangle perform without a performer.

There's also a banjo with a scoring to George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. One may also question of the bongo can perform whatever without a bongoist.

What is the functions of banjo in simple orchestra?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The modern banjo was invented in America in the late 1800s so it didn't exist at the time when the traditional concept of an orchestra was being developed.

The banjo was derived from African instruments made of dried gourds, which were essentially drums with strings pulled taut. Compositions for orchestras tended not to score for localised indigenous instruments, unless the composer was looking for a "particular" sound.

That said, there's no reason it couldn't hold its own in an orchestra with its unique, sharp, and precise tones. Some banjo virtuosos such as Bela Fleck have performed and recorded classical compositions with great accuracy on the banjo.

Where was the banjo created?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Joel Walker Sweeney. He thought that the 4-string banjo didn't have good harmony, so between 1831 and 1840, as a present for his niece, he invented a banjo with a 5th string.
